Using poor sources of entropy like /dev/urandom on Linux, or worse, gettimeofday(), and using them to generate long-lived keys.

He missed the point, people complained because he claimed urandom was a poor source of entropy. That post is about using urandom securely, and he even shows that he doesn't know the difference between random and urandom.

means that normal users shouldn't really need to install binary drivers if they have a recent ATI GPU.

openSUSE

ChromeOS

Lubuntu

You can't just steal documents from governments and publish them without any consequences.

I'd draw the line: You can steal documents and publish them, if they reveal that the government has acted against the laws, or unconstitutionally.

Basically if you're breaking the law to reveal that someone else has broken the law in order of magnitude worse way, then it's ok.
